3 a.m.: The Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Sunday night to impose tariffs on US products. The measures are an answer to corresponding tariffs that US President Donald Trump signed only hours earlier.

“I explain that with 25 percent tariffs we answer American goods worth $ 155 billion,” he said. This includes beer, wine and bourbon, fruits and vegetables, clothing, plastic and wood. Trudeau said that “tariffs on goods worth $ 30 billion” will come into force on Tuesday, followed by further tariffs in 21 days, “to give Canadian companies and supply chains the opportunity to look for alternatives”.

In addition, the Canadian government are considering measures in other areas, for example in the trade in resources. “Long live Canada,” Trudeau ended his explanation.

In an emotional speech, he had highlighted the centuries -long relationships between the neighboring USA and Canada. “We fought together, died together,” he recalled in various stakes of Canadian and American soldiers in various wars. “We were always on the side of you Americans,” he showed his lack of understanding for the tariffs planned by US President Donald Trump on Canadian products that are to come into force next Tuesday.

2.55 p.m.: The Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum explains on the online platform X that she instructed her Minister of Economy to impose tariffs and take further measures to defend Mexico’s interests. The United States had previously imposed tariffs on all goods from Mexico. Sheinbaum continued to write, categorically falsely falsely accused of the White House that the Mexican government was allied with organized groups of criminals. However, she is not looking for a confrontation, but cooperation and a dialogue with the USA. Read more about the effects of tariffs here.
